SF Fleet Week. Ships and sailors and planes. Oh my. Cooked several vegetarian meals.Semi-annual eye doctor visit. Cute cat shots. Then Saturday, Rich tossed me out so he could clean and I took a salad over to a park overlooking the Bay and caught the air show featuring the Blue Angels. Yes, I know they represent the evil side of the US militaristic empire but they’re fun to see up close.

Here’s a catch up video. Two weeks in one. Rich reviews Scream Queens. Problems with Blue Apron have us considering cancelling our subscription. Our friend Marc showed up again. Mostly to drink my wine. Then I go on a rant about why I dislike religious proselytizers who go door to door. And we wrapped things up at the Castro Street Fair.

Start of Fall classes later in the week. So the week felt a bit schizophrenic, relaxing to start then frantic. Checked out the new-ish Drive Now i3 Rex. Interesting if only because the dark cloth interior isn’t otherwise offered in North America. Cute cat antics ahead.

First week back from Hawaii. Love the cool, foggy weather. Cat cute overload. Found Anchor Meyer Lemon Lager. Bitched about the lack of LGBT protections across the country. Then happened upon an i8 wrapped in matte orange—not a good thing.

Final morning of our Oahu break. Four days turned out to be the perfect amount of time. Some last glimpses of Waikiki beach then checked out of the hotel and explored the Bishop Museum before heading to the airport. Flight home went by fast. Alaska Airlines proved great on both legs. Don’t take us as extravagant either. First class out of San Jose actually turned out cheaper than coach from SFO. Now back to our regularly scheduled vlogs.

Day 3 of our Oahu break. Spent the day in Honolulu. Started with an early morning swim at Waikiki. Then hit the Aloha Tower, the Iolani Palace, the Honolulu Museum of Art, and the Museum’s Spaulding House. Finally had dinner at Alan Wong’s Honolulu. Went in with high expectations and they blew us away.

Day 1 of a quick Oahu getaway. We lucked into a nice last-minute fare and decided why not. Monday was all about getting to San Jose airport, flying to Honolulu, seeing Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona memorial, and checking into our Waikiki digs. Then a gorgeous sunset capped the day off nicely.
